Maui to Use Stimulus Funds to Improve Energy Efficiency of County Facilities

The County of Maui is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to conduct investment grade energy audits using federal stimulus funds. Twelve county facilities, including fire stations, senior centers and a community center will be audited under the plan. The audit is expected to provide baseline energy data, physical condition of the buildings, and basis for energy efficiency savings measures.  Funds for the audit were provided by the U.S. Department of Energy utilizing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.
